5 Reasons To Pray Even If You’re Not A Prayer Warrior

Pray without ceasing. -1 Thessalonians 5:17

 Are You A Prayer Warrior?

Have you seen these Christians that pray at the drop of a hat? I mean, someone says their mom has dementia, their baby is not feeling well, or their husband is looking for a new job, and these prayer warriors bow their heads, lift a hand to the sky, and start praying right there in front of everyone–and out loud, too!

These people are gifted. God has given them the supernatural ability to pray for others. Not everyone has the grace to pray like a prayer warrior, but all of us have the grace to pray because it’s how we communicate with our Father. It’s a special privilege.
